NECA Predator Series 14 New Preview

Check out a new preview of NECA‘s upcoming Predator Series 14 Figures. The image shows off the unpainted test samples. The newest wave of figures feature three Predators based on the Alien vs Predator film. This is the first time NECA has created figures specifically from that film. It includes the following figures:

Celtic Predator

Scar Predator

Chopper Predator

The figures will each have roughly 30 points of articulation. They will stand about 8.25″ tall and will include character specific accessories. Look for them to be released this September. Check out the image by reading on.

I feel like someone is going to bring it up so I'll step in now and say that NECA has clarified before that these toys won't have the separate nets as seen in these pictures. The final releases will have the regular sculpted nets per usual, these are the two-ups we saw at ToyFair so they have actual netting but the final releases will not.

These will also be their first predators that aren't accurate to the movie. NECA made the smart move to not make them as bulky and tankish as they were in the film which does make these a lot more appealing to fans.

Could be just me...I just watched this movie again the other night, and upon seeing these, the colors of their bodies looks a little off. The yellows definitely look a bit bright.

Could be just me though. Glad they resculpted Scar's face. He looked really ridiculous without his helmet in the movie. His eyes looked way too human. This looks about just right.

The coloring is likely to be different by final release. In the solicit pictures Nightstorm was shown to be pretty much black in skin tone but his final is definitely more of a smoky blue scheme. I recall Scavage also had notable differences between solicit and final color.

Wow. NECA has been raising the bar pretty high lately, but this is incredible. They look exactly like the Hot Toys versions! So long as QC holds up, this is definitely the best body design I've ever seen in 7' scale. On top of that, every piece of armour excluding below the elbow and just above the ankle is removable, which is great for customizing!

Though the best part of all is the price tag... BBTS has them listed at $22.99 a piece! I thought because of their size and detail they'd be closer to $30.00 . I just hope this line sells well so we can get some cool Super Predators... Maybe Even this guy....

Unless they make an Alexa Woods figure (The Black Chick) I don't think I will need Scar without his mask. I have always prefered Predators with a mask on. I will not make a final decision on Scar until I see him in person, but Celtic and Chopper are must haves.
